The report which is in circulation
in the western portion OF tie
county to the effect that our
worthy sheriff was q silent partner
in Terzia's saloon does that officer
gross injustice. 1t is untrue. The
rumor has no other foundation than
that the sheriff was greatly exercis-
ed over the closing of Tersias saloon
for fear such action would be inju
rious TO the cause of Prohibition, for
the future success of which he is ex-
ceedingly solicitous.

Hence, the wiser course is to wait

contributing their industry to the

Panic at q Bull Fight

The Petit Marseillais gives the follow
ing account of a very exciting scene which
occurred at a bull fight outside of Sara
gossa the other day. After two bulls had
been dispatched without any special Incl.
dent the third, an animal named Salado,
jumped over the barrier into the amphi-
theatre, crushing an old man and a lad Of
Is. II would be difficult to give an ade-
quate description of the panic and tumult
which ensued. The whole Of the specta-
tors jumped to their feet. In the twink
ling of an eye the space around the bull
was vacated, and the crowd rushed into
a corner, trying to protect itself by means
Of planks and sticks from his expected
charge.
The bull made a desperate rush for q
young girl, who, with a shrek, fell to the
ground, but one of the toreadors, with
great presence of mind, trailed a red cloth
in the path, and thus diverted his atten-
ton from the girl, who was dragged I'M
conscious to a place of safety. The bull
next trampled under foot an unfortunate
vender OF drinking water, and forced his
way into that part Of the ring known as
the "Tertulia." A young man In n Of
the boxes tried to shoot him, but the three
bullets from his revolver which he man.
aged to lodge In him only served to in
crease his fury One Of the men tried to
run him through, but he missed him, and
the bull charged him furiously. The mar
stepped aside, and the bulls horns went
so deep into the wooden paling that before
he could withdraw them two men plunged
their swords into him. Even this did not
kill him outright, the enraged animal
staggering some thirty yards and breaking
down a number of benches before the

The methods by which men make a
livelihood are constantly disclosing nov
city and ingenuity. About a year ago I
observed here in the streets a young man
whom ! had known out west, who had
some artistic ability but had not shown
any particular capacity for getting along
in the world. From his appearance he
seemed TO be ''down on his luck" I met
him during the past week entirely
changed In his personal aspect and hav-
ing an air Of prosperity in marked con-
trast TO his former looks. In converse
ton I found that he had ''struck It rich''
by carving mems names upon canes. His
first conception OF this idea was to secure
n valuable stick and carve a handsome
cane head on IL. Then he introduced him
self to members OF military companies
and induced them to purchase the stick
with their names carved upon it to pre-.
sent TO their commanding officers. The
novelty became popular, and has ex-
tended TO all sorts Of organizations, SO
that he is now obliged 10 hire two or
three wood carvers to do the manual
labor while he himself attends 10 the
work Of procuring orders New York

An Odd Real Estate Story.

In a real estate Office the other day I
heard a gentleman relating the experience
OF an eastern friend Of his who many years
ago, for a bad IN debt OF $50, 900, was
compelled to accept western land of the
estimated value Of $4,000. He paid con-
stantly increasing taxes upon the land for
a number of years without going TO see il.
One day his agent telegraphed him, ask
ing what he would take for the land, which
had finally come to be far within the cor
porate limits of Chicago. The owner fig
ured that, taxes and interest, the land had
cost him $780, 900, aud more In a joke than
anything else, not dreaming that the Of
fer would be accepted, wrote a telegram
saying that he would take $4,000 cash
for the property. He sent the message by
his Office boy to the telegraph Office,
where the clerk insisted that the sum be
spelled out in the message. The Office
boy rewrote it, and by mistake wrote
$500, 900 instead Of $4,000.
In an hour back came the reply: 'Offer
OF half a million dollars accepted. Make
deed and come on and get certified
The man made the Office boy a
handsome present for his clerical error
and gave his old time debtor 1926, 900 with
which to ~re-establish himself in business.

The Discomforts Of Barn Storming.

The company was Just in from the road.
The season was ut an end, and travel
stained and weary a company OF actors
stood In the reception room OF a modest
hotel and were %recounting their adyen-
lures with an apparent sense OF satisfac-
ton that, for a time at least, the ''demni-
ton grind" was at an end.
''Oh, the horror Of it," exclaimed a
lady whose pretty features were Swallowed
by a way worn expression. 1.-THE horror
of this constant travel among the one night
stands. You people who live at home and
can Look your own folks in the eye every
night and morning and enjoy the comforts
of a civilized life, have no idea what we
have TO put up with.
"Why do we continue In q profession
that inflicts so much discomfort and sui.
fering upon us' Well, like that! Why
are we obliged TO eat a4d wear clothess
Why are we not all endowed with a hun
dred thousand dollars and a brown stone
house on Michigan avenue' The truth is
that we have to make q living and the
stage is our only available Do
you suppose that we would travel
around like the Wandering jew il we
could accumulate bread and butter,
along with occasional shoes and
stockings, in any other respectable wayi
II is hard enough for those Of the mascu-
line persuasion, but for the ladies IL is ten
times worse. This is about the pro-
gramme: After o performance In some
dingy town, where We are starved on
tough beef and sour bread, we are gener-
ally obliged to pack N trunks, and 1t is
certain to be after midnight before there
is any chance to sample the hard and
musty beds usually placed at our dis
posal. Well, before there is time to settle
down into a quiet sleep the call comes for
the early train, and we must hurry out
half dressed or else lose all chance at the
excuse for an early breakfast that is set
before us. That is the way it works day
after day. And II the manager happens
TO be financially weak, we are often
forced to leave nj trunks or jewelry in
pawn. Oh, it is a delightful life, If n
isn't particular about what she says, but
